I fabricated the spacers that position the inboard wheel pant bracket. The plans call for 13/32″ (about 0.406″), but I have the Grove wheels and brakes which have a thicker brake rotor, so I ended up having to make them about 0.540″ in order to get the recommended 1/16″ clearance between the bracket and the rotor. This is not the stock Van’s aluminum bracket, but is the fairings-etc.com stainless steel one. While this is heavier than the stock bracket, there have been a number of instances of the stock bracket cracking due to rough fields or ground handling. Hopefully these will be quite a bit more durable.
The bracket required about 1/4″ to be trimmed off where it passes over the caliper. This has about 1/8″ clearance all around to allow the caliper to move.
